Ez 47, 1-23

1 And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar. 2 And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side. 3 Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles. 4 And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees. 5 And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed. 6 And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent. 7 And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides. 8 And he said to me: “These waters, which go forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and which descend to the plains of the desert, will enter the sea, and will go out, and the waters will be healed. 9 And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives. 10 And fishermen will stand over these waters. There will be the drying of nets, from Engedi even to Eneglaim. There will be very many kinds of fish within it: a very great multitude, like the fish of the great sea. 11 But on its shore and in the marshes, they will not be healed. For these will be made into salt pits. 12 And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its 496 leaves will be for medicine.” 13 Thus says the Lord God: “This is the border, by which you shall possess the land, in accord with the twelve tribes of Israel. For Joseph shall have a double portion. 14 And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession. 15 Now this is the border of the land toward the northern region, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, arriving at Zedad: 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the confines of Hamath, the house of Ticon, which is beside the border of Hauran, 17 and the border will be from the sea, even to the entrance of Enon, at the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north, at the border of Hamath, on the northern side. 18 Moreover, the eastern region will be from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, to the Jordan, marking the boundary to the eastern sea. For so shall you measure the eastern region. 19 Now the southern region, toward the meridian, will be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, and from the Torrent, even to the great sea. And this is the southern region, toward the meridian. 20 And the region toward the sea will have its confines from the great sea continuing directly until one arrives at Hamath. This is the region of the sea. 21 And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 And you shall distribute it by lot as an inheritance, for yourselves and for the new arrival who will be added to you, who will conceive sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the indigenous among the sons of Israel. They shall divide the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel. 23 And in whatever tribe the new arrival will be, there you shall give a possession to him, says the Lord God.”

Verš 12

And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its 496 leaves will be for medicine.”

Zjv 22:2 - In the midst of its main street, and on both sides of the river, was the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, offering one fruit for each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the health of the nations.

Verš 14

And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession.

Gn 12:7 - Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

Gn 17:8 - And I will give to you and to your offspring, the land of your sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an eternal possession, and I will be their God.”

Gn 26:3 - and sojourn in it, and I will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and to your offspring I will give all these regions, completing the oath that I promised to Abraham your father.

Gn 28:13 - and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.

Verš 7

And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides.

Ez 47,1 - Chrám, ktorý zvýrazňuje novozákonné Božie kráľovstvo, je pôvodom všetkého šťastia. Toto šťastie sa zobrazuje prameňom živej vody. Voda je aj inde symbolom mesiášskeho blaha (Iz 12,3; 35,6), ba sám Boh volá sa prameňom živej vody, Jer 2,13.

Ez 47,4-12 - Opis treba rozumieť v zmysle prenesenom ako podobenstvo. Mesiášske požehnanie, ktoré bude prúdiť z novozákonného Božieho kráľovstva, bude liečiť choroby mravné, hriechy, a bude pôvodom ovocia, ktoré bude prinášať duchovný život ľudí.

Ez 47,8 - Rieka ústi do Mŕtveho mora, zmení jeho vodu, takže sa doň vráti život.

Ez 47,10 - Engadi (Engaddi, dnes: Ain Džiddy) je asi v polovici západného pobrežia Mŕtveho mora. – Engalim (Engallim) bolo blízo ústia Jordána. – "Veľké more" je Stredozemné more.

Ez 47,13 - Kmeň Jozefov dostane dve čiastky, na oboch Jozefových synov, Efraima a Manassesa, Gn 48,22; porov. Joz 17,7.

Ez 47,14 - "Pán zdvihol ruku" rozumej: k prísahe; porov. 20,5; 36,7.

Ez 47,15 - Veľké more pozri v. 10. – Hetalon (Adlun, Ornithopolis) bol medzi Týrom a Sidonom. – Sedad bol 50 km od Rebly na východ. – O Emate pozri pozn. k 1 Kr 8,65. – Berota je azda totožná s Berotom 2 Sam 8,8. – Poloha neznáma. – Sabarim je azda totožné so Zefronou Nm 34,9, dnešné Zaferane, pri ceste z Emisy do Ematu. Stredný Haser (Vulg: "dom Tichon") je iste totožný s Haser Enonom 17. verša, ale jeho poloha nie je známa. Hauran je severovýchodná časť Zajordánska.

Ez 47,18 - Galaád pozri Jer 8,22. – Izraelskú zem od územia Damasku, Hauranu a Galaádu bude na východe deliť Jordán. Táto rieka bude východnou hranicou, a to od hranice severnej počnúc až po Mŕtve (Východné) more, ba až po Tamar. Podľa verša 19 a LXX už v tomto verši treba čítať Tamar. Je to dnešný Kurnub, juhozápadne od južného pobrežia Mŕtveho mora.

Ez 47,19 - Kádeš (Kadeš-Barnea) bol juhozápadne od Tamaru; v jeho blízkosti boli aj Vody protirečenia (Mé-Meribóth); porov. Nm 20,1–13; 34,4.5. – "Potok" je takzvaný Potok Egypta; pozri pozn. k 1 Kr 8,65.
